Also, Proctor did not agree with the appointment of Mr. Parris as the newest minister, and therefore did not have his last child baptized. With the latest craze of witchery and swirling accusations, John Proctor was easily indicted of being a messenger for the devil by the testimony of his disillusioned servant Mary Warren, who in the past committed perjury. The court who heard the testimony easily accepts it because she is a church going person, while John Proctor slightly deviates from the norm.

John Jay's letter to George Washington speaks of crisis and revolution, probably referring to Shay's Rebellion, the first major uprising against the Confederation. The rebellion was crushed, but it showed the discontentment of ...
